[DML] Re: rear fog lights

Sorry guys but if you put hi-intensity lamps in place of the regular lamps the
circuit may not handle the added amperage and you'll surelly destroy the lens in
front of the lamp, these lamps get "VERY HOT".

As far as I know cars manufactured before 1981 or 1983 (cannot remember
which) in the UK do NOT legally have to have foglamps. Therefore 'not
applicable' marked on the MOT form will still allow the car to pass.

Dave's right-hookers don't have fogs and get through the MOT with an
"n/a" in that column. He and I agree that using the outer brake lights as
fogs isn's aesthetically pleasing - I for one
love the four stripes light up!

The mod I would do is replace the tail light bulbs with high-intensity
(ie fog lights!) bulbs, then rig up a switch to power them either in series
(each gets 6V) for tail lights, or Parallel (each gets 12V) for use as fogs.
This has the added bonus that the bulbs'll last
forever :o)
